Alley Viper: Alley Viper came at the end of the 25th Anniversary line in a seven pack (The Defense of Cobra Island) that included a B.A.T., Dr. Mindbender, Lamprey, Range Viper, Night Creeper, and Strato Viper. Like Airborne, Alley Viper relies heavily on his "plastic coat" to cover up the retooling and for this figure it works brilliantly. The grenade, knife (which is actually removeable) and all the little pockets show the passion the sculptors had for what they were doing. In addition to the knife A.V. comes with his trademark riot shield, baton, helmut and gun. They definitely didn't take any shortcuts in making this figure. I can't imagine a scenario where Cobra might need a fluorescent orange and blue trooper but who cares. He looks fantastic.
RATING: ****/****
